Ph. and I took in Be Kind Rewind<\/a><\/i> last weekend.
\nIt’s a fun, quirky flick about the desperate, inventive measures by video rental store
\nworkers to recover after all of the tapes are erased. They even have a
\ntrailer:<\/p>\n

Catchiest for me was the premise of
\nSweding<\/a><\/i>–home-grown, bricolage
\nfilm-making (grab a VHS camera, some magic markers, tin foil, etc.). The movie
\ngets a lot of mileage out of the idea, and in the escalating scramble to re-make
\nthe erased movies, all sorts of mishaps come about: copyright infringement,
\nbattles over microfame, VHS\/DVD format tensions, and arguments over store-shelf
\neconomics. But Sweding<\/i> as an art stance, as a geek-hack aesthetic method:
\neven if you already knew what make-do composition was, the movie gives the idea
\na nudge, renews some of the pleasure and spark in the spirit of carefree
\nre-makes–enough of a bump that we’re sure to see more
\n
\nYouTubic transmedia<\/a>, like this Sweded version of The Shining<\/i>:<\/p>\n

Eesh. Might be creepier than the original, if a bit less drawn out in its suspense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
